Linda and I went to the International Crane Foundation in Baraboo, WI. It is about an hour and a half from my folks cabin. I had read about this place on Michael Forsberg's website.

(by the way - one of my favorite photographers)

These guys do great work. It is the only place in the world were you can see all 15 different crane species. There were 2 whoopers in this enclosure. I had seen a couple in the wild on the Platte River. But never this close.

I believe there are only 500 of these guys alive in the world. 300 are in the wild. So it is worth the trip just to see them.
